Lady Lazarus-Press is a small, dedicated Publishing House and is looking for creative, original, edgy, humorous or thought provoking and no-nonsense, no-bullshit, non-clichéd writing, we do not publish Fifty Shades of Shallow anything, period. The genres LLP gets excited about and is most likely to consider publishing includes: (although we never, say “never” even when drunk):

Thank you for interest and submission, LLP reads each and every one we receive (but only when we’re sober) with an open mind, full glasses of wine, too many cigarettes and seriously -- great expectations!

Honestly, we do receive avalanche quantities of submissions at times but will respond to your query as soon as possible depending on current volumes. Know that LLP is passionate about each project we take on and if per chance we do not accept your MS for publication it only means it is not a good fit for us, keep writing, keep honing, keep plugging, keep submitting.

This thing we call writing is highly subjective like all other art forms and truly at the end of the day; what the hell do we or any other editor know about what constitutes brilliant writing and what does not?

While Lady Lazarus-Press designs its own book covers we are always in need of Artwork, however we are a small publishing house with an even smaller budget when it comes to paying for that art although we fully appreciate the creativity, time and effort that goes into creating the art and of course there should always be some expectation of payment.

Our reality is this -- In the past LLP has been lucky enough to have had several Artists and Photographers donate their work in exchange for credit and a bio page inside our publications and promotions for which we are absolutely grateful. We would like to establish a pool of aspiring digital artists and photographers that we can contact when there is a need for cover art who are of course willing to donate as described above. At some point our hope is that we will have a budget to pay for this art accordingly.

Please introduce yourself, provide a link to some of your artwork or online gallery and your contact information.
